Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Drinks and food were FABULOUS. Service super friendly and efficient. Our server Dimitrio was attentive and one of the best servers we encountered during our time in Edinburgh. Worth a visit. You won't be disappointed.

We had an amazing experience today at the inn on the mile. We where lucky to get a table, with Edinburgh being really full and busy. The Food and drinks were delicious, but the most amazing part about our experience was our waiter, Euan. Euan...did an amazing job at making us feel really welcomed and cared for. He is such a kind person and was always checking in on us. Thanks to Euan we had a really nice experience. <3More

What a terrible experience. We. went in at about 9:30pm, after visiting a few pubs in the area we decided to have a coffee to wake us up a little. The place was not busy, about 10 people, all of which were eating. They had...3 staff, one waiting tables one behind the bar and one on hot drinks. We sat down, and after 40 mins no one had come to see us so I went to the bar. I ordered two lattes, that are a little expensive at over £4 each. Sat down and waited for the drinks. They arrived in what can only be described as small cappuccino cups, overflowing which sloshed onto the saucers when placed at the table. Both drinks were warm at best and didn't really taste great. Normally I would have said something and refused to pay, but we were on holidays and didn't want to cause any grief. Terrible service and terrible coffeeMore

Had a lovely evening meal at the Inn on the Mile last week. Last minute, didn't book, but luckily there was a table. Excellent service and fantastic meal for a reasonable price. Nice atmosphere. Loved the pink glass lights!

The room was very nicely appointed. The location of the hotel is ideal. HOWEVER, the hotel is located with a side alley which has a disco. The disco-bar operates until 3:00 a.m. and patrons exit into the street and continue yelling, singing and making noice...until around 4:00 a.m. Every single night of my stay was a nightmare. The phone did not call out to any desk management or police. Received no assistance. Took days before we could catch up on much needed rest. Avoid this place if you're in need of sleep.More

We stopped by twice. Once just for drinks, the second time for lunch. Food was good, though the Croque Monsieur was cooler than it should have been. If it had been warmer we'd probably give it a 5 star as it was tasty.

We popped in here as was quiet whilst everywere else seemed rammed on a bank holiday weekend. Price as expected in a tourist area was on the more expensive side. The items we wanted were not available, which given current climate is understandable. When we...did order they got three out of four meals wrong which is a tad annoying. The haggis was the worst I have had on Scotland since arriving (I've only had it four times admittedly). Very disappointingMore

Was recommended and did not disappoint. Food was well prepared and portions were the right size. The haggis was nice but the Johnnie Walker sauce was amazing. They should bottle and sell that! The service was excellent.
